STONE BY STONE 3

Leishman grew up in Georgia, moving to the Los Angeles area after completing her MFA from
the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Originally trained as a photographer, she now works in
collage. Using both traditional and non-traditional materials, including fragments of old
projects, Leishman explores the dichotomies she witnesses. Select solo and group
presentations include Ahmad Shariff Gallery, Claremont, Meyer Gallery, Park City, Claremont
Museum of Art, Susan Elay Fine Art, New York, Granary Art Center, UT among others.
Leishman’s work has been featured in Feel Free magazine, Penumbra, Flyway, Whitefish
Review, VoyageLA, Artemis Journal, and others. She has been awarded grants and
residencies including the Anderson Center, and Prairieside Outpost. Her work is beloved by
collectors, art advisors, and designers. She recently completed a large commission for Stream Realty for their Regions Plaza commercial building in Atlanta, GA. She collaborates with evolutionary biologist Steven Peck on bodies of work investigating the loss we will continue to experience with climate change. Their work has been featured in multiple publications and the HBLL Library at BYU bought their entire first body of work for their permanent collection.
